Title: dealers or aftermarket?
Post by: vauxsull on 07 August 2011, 12:40:02: As the title says is it advisable to get dealer only when purchacing a steering idler or are they all the same? what are we looking at cost wise also peeps?

Nope - frayed knot.

Post by: Bionic on 07 August 2011, 15:51:46: Aftermarket will get you through the test (sometimes) but generally fail rapidly then you have the cost all over again, and again, and again etc., Best to bite the bullet and use a trade card (or have someone with one go with you) and get the GM one.
That advice is from experience too.
